Loyle Carner is a true London talent and although he's been making waves, we still think his expressive, jazz-infused hip-hop is still seriously underrated. Well, it's time for some further recognition as he's back with new single, 'Stars & Shards', out 17th June via supercool label AMF Records. All about friends that have lost their way in life, it's easy to understand why Carner has already sold out two small venue UK tours and is now hurtling towards his biggest ever headline show at Koko on 5th October. The streams of verse from his mouth are friendly and inviting rather than aggressive, and his stories are entirely relatable. We're 100% in Carner's corner. - SJ
